[web2py] Re: ajax_trap=False behavior on ajax loaded component

[LightDot]

Perhaps someone can make an alternative suggestion if you explain what 
exactly does a form do if it isn't trapped by ajax_trap. Does it refresh 
the page, redirect, something else..?

That's only to be expected. One can create an app in 2.11.x and it should 
run under later versions of web2py (as it's guaranteed to be backward 
compatible), such as 2.14.x, but there's no guarantee for the other way 
around. Apps created under later versions of web2py might or might not run 
under older versions, depending on the changes that happened in the mean 
time...

[web2py] Re: stuck up on Deployment on CentOS 6.7

[LightDot]

Basically, you need to have mod_wsgi properly configured and you need to 
create an appropriate apache virtual host for your domain. There were 
threads here about this before and the above mentioned CentOS 7 script has 
this covered in a certain way, so you can look into it for ideas. Generic 
mod_wsgi how-to's on the internet should also give you a good starting 
point, web2py doesn't need anything that special in this regard. I suggest 
working on getting you custom apache and custom python working together 
with the use of mod_wsgi first, this is the crucial part.

There are other ways of running web2py under apache (apart from mod_wsgi) 
but this is probably the most well documented approach when it comes to 
apache and python in general. And it's really not that bad either.

Btw, is there any chance you could switch to CentOS 7 and use apache and 
python provided by the OS? That would simplify your sysadmin life a lot.

Regards

[LightDot]

Go for 3.

Two caveats:
- apache installed in /usr/local/apache2 is not a part of CentOS 
distribution. It must have been installed manually at some point
- if you're using python provided by the OS, you'll be stuck on this last 
version of web2py. Web2py > 2.14.6 isn't python 2.6 compatible anymore.

This reminds me a bit on those humorous maps where everything outside USA

marks.

Credit cards are not rare in Europe in any way. Stripe covers customers 
from the entire world. It's not as flexible for business owners (those 
accepting payments):

On the other hand, if most of your customers are in a specific country, 
there might be better suited providers than Stripe. Not that there isn't 
plenty of competition globally too.

[web2py] Re: CMS WEB2PY

[LightDot]

You're comparing two different categories. Web2py is a programming 
framework, Mezzanine is a CMS. Web2py is a tool you would use to build a 
CMS like a Mezzanine (same as Django is used in this particular case).

In other words, what you should be comparing is Web2py vs Django, not 
web2py vs projects built in Django.

IMHO, that's not a prudent advice, especially not to inexperienced users..

The one file you mention, web2py.js, is specific to web2py, most of the 
other files there are completely specific to CSS frameworks used in 
whatever the welcome application has at the time. You shouldn't simply 
expect that you can interchange them at will, without impacting the 
functionality of your application.

With copying these files, you might be just updating Bootstrap from 3.x.z 
to 3.x.y or you might be overwriting your Bootstrap 2.x with 3.x files, 
breaking you application completely in the process.

I'd advise anyone to make a clear distinction, anything that's under the 
application folder, except the admin, is , not web2py. 
Don't touch it unless you're prepared to.

[web2py] Re: New web2py user with some questions/need for advice

[LightDot]

Well, with the information given, I would opt for using web2py's scheduler 
for the background tasks and ajax on the client side. I would probably try 
to add records to the database as needed, rather than new tables. Database 
records and resident files can be later pruned by another scheduler task, 
depending on the requirements.

The only problematic aspect I see here is the requirement of not 
authenticating the uploaders. You'll need to identify them somehow, even if 
just temporarily.

[web2py] Re: Cron-like job

[LightDot]

If "periodically from the time of saving" is a must and you also need to 
refresh the data changes in real time, not, for example, retroactively, 
once per hour, then I suggest using the web2py's Scheduler. It's in the 4th 
chapter of the book. Otherwise a regular system's cron job would be enough.

I have some experience in moderating Googlegroups, stumbled on everything

most efficient policy was to moderate the new users and approve them after 
the first post. Everything else was a gamble and the spam got trough.

The main issue we had was that approving users sometimes took more than a 
few hours. It gave users an impression of prolonged moderation, although 
this really wasn't the case. But the internet and communication in general 
moves very quickly... new users expect to participate within minutes... new 
threads to answer, questions to make... It's just hard to wait. It's a 
perception issue, I think. If this group needs more hands & eyes, I'd be 
glad to help as much as time permits.

[web2py] Re: IMPORTANT - DROPPING SUPPORT FOR PYTHON 2.5?

[LightDot]

RHEL 5 (and naturally CentOS 5 etc.) ship with python 2.4.3, that's already 
water under the bridge as far ar web2py goes.

Keeping python 2.6 compatibility for a good while longer would be greatly 
appreciated - we have quite a few production apps on RHEL 6 / Scientific 
Linux 6, but python 2.5 is of no interest to us.

Looking at the greater picture, I see nobody speaking in favor of python 
2.5 compatibility so far. Hm? No Mac OS X users that still need it..?

[web2py] Re: Off Topic - Webix

[LightDot]

There is a bunch of nice projects out there and so little time to keep 
track of everything. Could you please write a couple of sentences about 
what is the project especially good at it and how does it relate to web2py? 
Did you use it with web2py?

Also, I saw pricing on their page but a quick look didn't reveal an actual 
license the code is released under. I admit I didn't look deep.

[web2py] Re: new feature in trunk: TODO panel in admin editor

[LightDot]

Didn't have time to take look yet, but If I understand correctly, just make 
a comment in any .py file, starting with TODO and it will show in the panel.

This is similar to e.g. Sublime text's SublimeTODO plugin and others... I 
suggest looking at those for ideas, e.g. SublimeTODO shows comments 
starting with "TODO:", "NOTE:", "FIXME:", "CHANGED:".

I use the first three, mostly.

[web2py] Re: web2py deployment: Apache, Nginx and Plesk Panel

[LightDot]

Er... why would you run a VPS deployment script on a server with a working 
control panel..? I hope you have backups :/

If 1) is still your goal, the best thing you could do now is to try and 
revert everything the deployment script broke, then rethink your approach. 
I'd advise you to follow Plesk documentation about using python and/or 
custom vhost includes. There are several approaches you could try, but the 
point is, use Plesk to get web2py working. Anyway, you'll have to fix your 
Plesk installation before you can even attempt that.

[web2py] Re: web2py deployment: Apache, Nginx and Plesk Panel

[LightDot]

We've been running Plesk on our servers for more than a decade now but I'm 
afraid I don't have a ready-made & tested solution for Plesk and web2py. 
We're phasing Plesk out and a large part of our hosting infrastructure has 
been moved to a custom solution that's better suited for web2py too, among 
other things.

I should have probably worked out some details before giving a definitive 
answer, but 1) seems like a cleaner approach, if you intend to offer Plesk 
to your customers or actively use it yourself. Your customers will be 
wanting to use it to create databases, monitor disk usage and visitor 
statistics, etc. Even if you do move web2py hosts out of that environment 
(option 2) ), you'll still be wanting to integrate this new parallel 
hosting system into Plesk, at least partially. It can be done, I'm just not 
sure how much hacking would it require.

Re: [web2py] Re: web2py trunk is broken??

[LightDot]

Googlecode and Github repos are equal, there are no plans to abandon either 
one, AFAIK. I'll raise this up on the devel list.

I just pulled from both, made a diff and there really is a problem at the 
moment. I'll report the issue in a bit. This happened a couple of times in 
the past and was always fixed quickly.

Re: [web2py] Re: ssl certificate?

[LightDot]

In my experience, startssl staff manually checks the site for which the 
certificate is requested for (non)commercial content. Some borderline sites 
pass, some don't. If this is for web2py.com itself, I think there shouldn't 
be any issues.

For non-free certificates, various Comodo, GeoTrust or Thawte resellers 
have certificates in the 5 to 30 USD per year range (email / domain 
verification). If you need business entity verification, prices are higher. 
In any case, prices have plummeted in the last few years.

Can't recommend anyone in particular, though.

[web2py] Re: web2py vs others. Status of 2014

[LightDot]

Bleeding edge in terms of enterprise means something completely different 
then on a personal device. If they are running CentOS or Red Hat or 
Scientific Linux then they are a good step towards running a solid 
enterprise IT system, so good for them. In their case, beeing bleeding edge 
means testing available alpha and beta releases of those OSes as they 
emerge, instead of adopting a couple of years after a stable release.

On the other hand, for a personal device, being bleeding edge and keeping 
one's sanity at the same time means running Arch on a laptop. If the sanity 
requirement is omitted, one can go with Slackware. The danger is, one's 
head might overload with GNU/linux knowledge enough to spin and explode. 
Well... in any case, Fedora is for sissies. :)

Anyway, seriously, Fedora isn't bleeding edge for more than a pre-alha to 
alpha period. Then it gets boringly stable. Which is a good thing if you 
need to have some actual work done.

Being sane and bleeding edge at the same time is also running web2py from 
the trunk. I usually look at the last commits and sometimes skip an update 
or two, but most of the time I don't use anything else than trunk 
everywhere. Which probably means web2py's public releases could be a lot 
more frequent.

ideas on how to proceed:

[web2py] Re: What is a clear procedure to style web2py css files using Bootstrap theme generators/choosers?

[LightDot]

As far as Bootswatch 2 themes are concerned, the original, stock 
bootstrap-responsive.min.css must be loaded if you wish your page to be 
"responsive". Bootswatch 2 themes do not provide this functionality. So, 
regardless of the Bootswatch 2 theme used, they can all co-exist with the 
same, stock bootstrap-responsive.min.css.

What bootstrap-responsive.min.css does is explained in the old Bootstrap 2 
docs, for example here: 
http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html#responsive and you can just 
try how your page looks with or without it. Just to be clear - you don't 
have to use the responsive features or even load the 
bootstrap-responsive.min.css, it's optional.

[web2py] Re: apply static html/graphic to layout template

[LightDot]

I don't think there is a straight definitive answer to what you're asking. 
It depends on the expertise and preference of both the designer and the 
web2py developer you'll end up working with.

Since you already have the design made, I would proceed with looking for a 
web2py developer and then asking him which way he/she prefers. You might 
find a developer who can cut his own graphics directly from the source 
files, or you might find one that would prefer a finished html page to work 
with. In both cases, some input or corrections / additions by the original 
designer might be needed.

It's basically a question of two or more people working together and how 
they can best adjust their working process and collaborate. In my 
experience, this tends to be very subjective and varies from project to 
project, even if the same group of people is involved.

[web2py] Re: What is a clear procedure to style web2py css files using Bootstrap theme generators/choosers?

[LightDot]

The three bars in the upper right of your Firefox are a part of the 
browser, not your page. That's how the recent Firefox menu looks like.

The web2py welcome app currently comes with Bootstrap 2, not 3. If you wish 
to use a bootswatch theme or any similar, you'll need to use an older, 
Bootstrap 2 compatible one. My guess is that this is the source of your 
problem.

Details such as whether you need to replace just bootstrap.min.css (and 
keep the original bootstrap-responsive.min.css) or replace the 
bootstrap.min.css and remove bootstrap-responsive.min.css altogether, are 
going to be stated in the documentation of the theme / project you're 
switching to. That's pretty much all there is to it, hence no python 
script...

That's good news. Red Hat was already going to support it until 2024 (end

[web2py] Re: Classic Error with Rocket - can't launch web2py any more

[LightDot]

The error is pretty self-explanatory. Another service (or another instance 
of the same one) is already using port 8000.

So, the solution is to:

- find out which service is it (execute the command 'netstat -lnptu' in 
your terminal)
- shut that service down.

BTW, installing or uninstalling clamav won't have any effect on running 
services, nor will disconnecting from your home wi-fi.

[web2py] Re: 500 Internal Server Error under CentOS Apache and Web2py 2.9.5

[LightDot]

You use /opt/web-apps/web2py_2.9.5/ in one place and /opt/web-apps/web2py/ 
in other places. Besides, you should copy the wsgihandler.py into the 
web2py directory, don't call the file directly from handlers... (unless 
you've modified the paths within, but running directly from handlers isn't 
a really clean way of doing things...).

Have you made any other changes? For example, things like WSGISocketPrefix 
run/wsgi, was this used and working before?

Re: [web2py] Nginx/passenger/web2py -> 504 Gateway Timeout?

[LightDot]

First thing, try ditching the symlink and copy the wsgihandler.py directly 
to passenger_wsgi.py. There might be a security measure in place, 
preventing symlinks.

The next thing I'd try is seeing if the paths within the passenger_wsgi.py 
get proper values, but this might be a long shot.

Since you say you're on a shared host, I assume you can't see how your web 
server and passenger configuration files actually look like? That would 
help.

you've put them in /etc/hosts, but they most certainly won't resolve over 
the internet.

Before worrying about how your PHP is set up, you need to get to the point 
when your index.php is either executed or you see the text contents...

That being said, this is not really connected with web2py in any way.

[web2py] Re: Hosting separate web2py application and PHP application on same apache fedora server

[LightDot]

So what is the error you get? Apache should either complain at server 
restart or you should be able to see at least some error description when 
you attempt to open the page.

Also, I assume you have PHP configured outside of this vhost and enabled 
server-wide? Are you using mod_fcgid or..?

[web2py] Re: Hosting separate web2py application and PHP application on same apache fedora server

[LightDot]

First thing that jumps at me is the "Deny from all" directive in your PHP 
vhost... The other things I notice are the typos: you have catdb subdomain, 
catpdb document root and caspdb directory. At least one of those is a clear 
typo.

Apache logs are quite helpful with these stuff.

Re: [web2py] Nginx/passenger/web2py -> 504 Gateway Timeout?

[LightDot]

I use apache and mod_passenger (Scientific Linux 6.x / EPEL) on a couple of 
high traffic web2py apps, works like a charm. Passenger is really neat, I'm 
testing an unified solution that provides python, nodejs and ruby support 
with seamless passtrough for PHP / HTML / static files.

Apart of configuring apache / passenger, the only thing needed on web2py 
side was to use wsgihandler.py, renamed as passenger_wsgi.py.

So, I would say this is a configuration issue... But I'm not sure what's 
theproblem. @Krzysztof, 
when you say you've put all web2py files within the folder, expected by 
passenger, did you omit the top web2py directory? The structure should be 
simply:

top_passenger_dir/
  applications
  deposit
  gluon
  ...etc...
  passenger_wsgi.py
  web2py.py

[web2py] Re: deployment error

[LightDot]

Hmm, no... for example, on our servers, setting file permissions of a CGI 
script to 777 will prevent it from working as a security measure. So, file 
ownership or permissions are still first things that come to mind.

Create a new app from scratch (as you say, this works) and upload/extract a 
zip or a w2p of the same welcome app, then compare the file and directory 
ownership / permissions. By compare, I mean compare *exactly*, file for 
file, dir for dir...

Why do you consider this as Guido's direct answer to PyPy..? I really think 
that would be reading into it a bit too much... I simply see Pyston as a 
research project at this time. If all parts fall together nicely, it might 
bring important changes to Python, if not, it will most likely get 
abandoned.

Remember the Unladen Swallow? It was started by three core CPython 
developers, who were all working at Google at the time, same as Guido was. 
And we all know it's ultimate fate...

So, there are similarities here. The goal is JIT on top of LLVM, Pyston is 
started by engineers at Dropbox, while Guido is also currently working at 
Dropbox. And, similarly, the project's success (or impending doom) lies in 
the approach taken to achieve JIT.

How ever this turns, it's a good thing. Google funded full time (not 
Guido's, mind you) development of Unladen Swallow for a while, the project 
produced some code that was merged upstream (for example, cPickle) and, 
most importantly, researched an approach to JIT, which is knowledge now 
available to the community. Hopefully, Pyston is well aware of it.

If Pyston achieves at least that much with the help of funding from Dropbox 
(again, Guido isn't working on this, AFAIK), I wouldn't complain. If it 
reaches the ultimate goal or at least brings significant improvements, 
well.. that would be great..!

This is good information to start with. Do you have more statistics, such 
as top and iostat output at the peak times, etc. ?

Postgresql itself has statistics available, for example see 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/monitoring-stats.html

Did you already tune apache or postgresql in any way? if so, what are your 
settings..? On the web2py side and for your current use case, the 
poolsize=50 setting might be ok or not, depending on your apache/pg setup...

[LightDot]

It would be prudent to see some numbers and to learn about your setup 
more...

So, what is your current setup like? Which web server are you using, which 
database? How much simultaneous db connections are we talking about?

Digital Ocean is using KVM virtualization, correct? How is you memory 
usage, which OS are you using within your VPS? How bad is the i/o really..?

[web2py] Re: Major issue with request separation

[LightDot]

Clients need to be uniquely identified, then you can track and return 
content to them accordingly. So, you need some form of authentication / 
identification / authorization. Web2py has access control built in and this 
might provide all you need to get you started.

[web2py] Re: Best way for using CSS variables with web2py ?

[LightDot]

If it's only such variables you're after, you could achieve the same with 
Less. Anyway, Bootstrap has an official Sass port, see:

[web2py] Re: Database access without DAL but with connection pool

[LightDot]

Well, if you want to do it without the DAL, there are several options that 
might just work without any additional code:
- check if specific python libs that you'll use for the db connection 
already provide a similar pooling function, they might
- check if the database backend natively provides such a function.

If neither is applicable... I suggest extending the DAL to support a new 
database ;)

Vital parts of information are missing - are the files served by Rocket ,

[web2py] Re: Appadmin on 2.9.4

[LightDot]

Btw, this seems to be one of the more elusive features of web2py, when it 
comes to finding information about it... @simonD, can I ask what did you 
first think when you saw _2.9.4 in the path, but no corresponding folder?

Did you assume anything else besides a missing folder? Did you search the 
group for answers and if so, what keywords did you use?

I'm trying to figure out how should web2py & it's documentation convey the 
information about this feature better...

[web2py] Re: One Step Production Deployment

[LightDot]

As I just wrote in another thread: the _2.9.4 comes from *virtual* static 
asset management. This number will change now and then, as static files get 
updated, so please don't go creating actual folders for this.

This feature is defined with response.static_version, it's in the book and 
the troubleshooting in regards to it has been addressed several times in 
the group.

This seems to be one of those features that users have most problems 
finding information about...

 Then, I removed all things web2py from the */home/www-data* folder. So 
 I have a clean slate, right?

 Except, it doesn't. Visit http://67.213.70.250/welcome and you get

 Um, what's wrong?

 This worked just fine in my Linux VM, so I am puzzled.

[web2py] Re: Appadmin on 2.9.4

[LightDot]

Er... creating folders is NOT the solution. You don't have any folders 
missing.

The _2.9.4 comes from *virtual* static asset management. This number will 
change now and then, as static files get updated, so please don't go 
creating actual folders for this.

Search the book and this group for response.static_version, it's been 
explained several times.

[web2py] Re: Bootstrap3 package - help to test

[LightDot]

Are you looking for ways to set the required css class for the table itself 
or anything more?

For example, you can manipulate the DOM for the table class. It's not a 
perfect approach, but should do for the time being:

grid = SQLFORM.grid (...code...)
grid.element('table', replace=lambda el: el.add_class(
   'table table-striped table-condensed'))

[web2py] Re: Understanding translation and accept-language header?

[LightDot]

I'm less familiar with the translation parts of web2py that I'd like to be, 
but is this connected with the definitions of:

'!langcode!': 'en-us',
'!langname!': 'English (US)',

that can be found in languages/default.py?

Regards

[web2py] Re: web2py on Mac OS Mavericks, trying to use port 80

[LightDot]

Hello Manuel, welcome to the list.

The issue you're seeing is not a bug, it's a feature of the OS or, rather, 
of it's security settings. The same behavior can be observed on Linux, 
FreeBSD, Solaris, ... any UN*X OS basically: non root users can't bind to 
ports below 1024.

This limit can be changed (per user or per process), but I don't recommend 
this unless you understand all implications of doing so. There are other 
ways around this, such as starting the process as root and then dropping 
privileges, using a proxy that has such functionality, using iptables to 
redirect ports, etc.

Regards

No... this part is fictional AngularJS code, just meant as an example.

I think you're missing the point of this thread, and that is whether web2py 
should have a special variable to temporarily disable the parsing of {{ }} 
and leave that to another parser, such as AngularJS. This would enable both 
web2py and AngularJS to keep using the same delimiters.

I believe Django has this functionality. What I don't know is the reasoning 
for their inclusion and possible caveats... @David Simmons, do you perhaps 
know if there was a discussion there and what were the arguments? Have they 
had any issues with the implementation?

[web2py] Re: Images not showed on linux

[LightDot]

First thing that comes to mind is that Linux is case sensitive, while 
Windows is not. So ../Silos/static is different then ../silos/static/... 
etc.

If not, then please provide the actual errors displayed and/or server 
logs... There must be an error, "no images showed" doesn't tell us much.

Re: [web2py] Re: recaptcha doesn't work in a component (LOAD)

Well, if people want to use ajax for the recaptcha, they can make a load 
component out of it. I think that the parameter really is redundant...

Anyway, thanks for spotting & fixing this.

[web2py] Re: web2py official site erroneously displays mobile view from google search

I should clarify also - I do get the mobile version when the browser width 
gets below 980px (width reported by Developer Tools in Firefox), but I 
didn't see this as an issue. Like Jim said, it's the expected behaviour.

Fedora 20 and Chrome 32.0.1700.107m and 33.0.1750.146m on Windows 7, both

[web2py] Re: Where does Apache HTTP server stores incoming request's data

Well, if files under /var/log/httpd are empty, then apache is either set up 
not to log anything or it's set up to log to another location. Third 
possibility would be that it isn't serving requests at all...

No way of knowing really, without looking at apache configuration files. 
How do you have it set up?

[web2py] Re: Submit FORM not working in IE11

[LightDot]

Sounds like SSL certs or cookies. I remember once troubleshooting 
Facebook's OAuth frantically for an hour before I realized my browser had 
3rd party cookies blocked. :)

Does either of the sites use SSL? If it does, does it have a valid cert or 
do you need to confirm an exception in your browser? For cookies, you could 
temporarily disable session checking for the form in question and see the 
result.

if form.process(session=None).accepted:
...code...

[web2py] Re: HELP with bootstrap 3

[LightDot]

Modernizr and Respond are not interchangeable. Modernizr detects detailed 
browser capabilities and makes conditional JS/CSS programming possible, 
while Respond adds the support for certain CSS3 media queries to older 
browsers (IE 6-8), thus enabling them to display responsive designs.

Bootstrap 3 won't work on IE8 or older browsers without the Respond library 
(or some other similar lib - there are others, but Respond is small and 
fast).

Direct link to the minified version from the author:
https://raw.github.com/scottjehl/Respond/master/dest/respond.min.js

I'm not opposed to keeping modernizr in static/js if others think that it's 
still needed. I don't use it and since it's commented out in Paolo's 
layout, I vote for removal and a comment, suggesting to users that it 
exists...

I misunderstood you at first because I was looking at the modernizr too 
much. If the proposal is to put respond.js into static/js, and remove 
modernizr from it, than I'm +1 to that.

[web2py] Re: HELP with bootstrap 3

[LightDot]

Both of these js's are commented out by default (note, the if sentence is 
commented out entirely), so it would work without internet connection. 
Anyway, for me it's ok either way... Pesonally, I don't use CDNs but I also 
prefer to have as few files in the welcome app as possible, especially if 
they are commented out.

[web2py] Re: HELP with bootstrap 3

[LightDot]

How about putting Paolo's bootstrap3.py into contrib an have welcome app 
import it from there? His module provides most of the bootstrap 3 support 
(forms, navigation, etc.). We could remove all this from core web2py.

As for the welcome app static files, these are redundant (leftovers) now 
and should be deleted:

static/css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css
static/css/web2py_bootstrap.css
static/css/web2py_bootstrap_nojs.css
static/js/dd_belatedpng.js
static/js/web2py_bootstrap.js

This one is old (v3.0.3, should be v3.1.1):
static/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css

I think we should define modernizr.custom.js to use a CDN and remove it 
from the static files too, same as respond.min.js is defined now. I also 
think we should be suggesting users to use  a free CDN instead of Maxcdn, 
so this should be in layout.html instead of what is now:





Another minor thing for the new layout.html: header section should also 
have id="header", same as other sections have.

I didn't have time to test the changes to gluon/tools.py yet, I'll check 
out trunk a bit later...

 However this file is not included by another file anywhere in the

 If this is it I just got lucky is all. :-)

 The Welcome application name header is scrunched up under the menu bar

 The web2py menu item (yellow) doesn't open like in 2.8.2

[web2py] Re: Change color of grid=SQLFORM.grid(db.abc, user_Signature=False)

[LightDot]

Question is a bit vague, yes ;) Like going to a mechanic and saying you 
want your car fixed, without any additional information and without showing 
your car.

Grid is basically a html table, you have borders, rows, columns, fields, 
font colors, etc. etc. If your CSS template is overriding the Bootstrap's 
and web2py's CSS, then there is no magic one liner that will change all 
that back into something else. You need to redefine all CSS values that you 
want changed. This can be done for the grid alone.

I suggest looking at your grid's CSS with a developer tool within your 
browser (all modern browsers have those built in, or you can use a plugin 
like Firebug for Firefox). This will show you which CSS definitions cause 
the color changes and which CSS file are they coming from. Then you can 
override them.

Regards

[web2py] Re: How to schedule a task to run at the same time every day

[LightDot]

In "trunk" refers to the development version of web2py. Basically, it means 
that this feature will be available in the next web2py release, but isn't a 
part of the current 2.8.2. You can check out web2py from google code or 
github if you'd like to use it now - keeping in mind that you'll be using a 
devel version that might include some less tested code, of course.

[web2py] Re: Running a web2py command after sleep

[LightDot]

Err... don't do this like you did :) There are some "do's" and "don'ts" in 
the programming books and you've touched most of the "don'ts" with your 
code.

Use the scheduler:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04#Scheduler

You'll also most likely be using ajax to poll the database and check if the 
task has finished in order to make your front-end perform something. Once 
you have some code in place, don't hesitate to ask more questions if you 
get stuck. Sheduler has also been discussed a lot in the past, so the 
group's search will help you too.

[web2py] Re: logout error

[LightDot]

 Keep in mind that redirect() is an equivalent to raising an HTTP(303) 
exception. In other words, an intentional exception is raised to create a 
redirect.

Looks like it's your own code doing a traceback and creating an error page 
on every exception, including the cases of the intentional redirect(), 
which is not what you want.

 Hi Massimo, 

  Thanks for the reply, but sorry to say this, but I didn't 
 understand what you meant there, which function should have both. I wanted 
 every user to have login and logout functions, thats why I didn't add 
 auth.permission for them.   And can you explain why it is giving 303 
 error. 
 Is it something with the redirect(next).

[web2py] Re: Reaching pages by a descriptive pagename

[LightDot]

What you're looking for is called a "slug". Web2py makes it really easy, 
since it already has a validator that can create a slug:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators?search=is_slug

Last time I implemented this was for a concert site, creating a slug from 
the concert name, location, etc. Then I used the precreated slug together 
with the concert id in the URL args, displaying something like 
domain.com/concert/917/artist-city-date-venue-something-something-etc. to 
visitors. Basically, the id is needed, the rest is just there for the show 
(and SEO).

[web2py] Re: recovering from crash

[LightDot]

Sure, shouldn't be complicated either, assuming your database definitions 
and the actual database structure is the same.

Restore your database and it's contents, restore the web2py code and then 
all that is left is to rebuild the web2py's database metadata. Take a look 
at fake migrations in the book: 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer?search=fake_migrate

You're probably not missing much here. The SQLFORM does not process hidden 
fields automatically, that's a security measure. You need to manually 
transfer such values from request.vars back into form.vars, for example:

form=SQLFORM() 
form.vars.field_hidden=request.vars.field_hidden 
if form.accepts() 

Keep in mind that hidden form fields can be altered by the user. You have 
no guarantee what the value of the hidden field is after you've received it 
back.

Nah, keep at it! :) Sure, some issues will take time to troubleshoot, but 
it gets easier after every one. Web2py is very intuitive and the Web2py 
Book, this group, slices, etc. are great resources.

[web2py] Re: How to reset authentication?

[LightDot]

Looks like web2py thinks that your main database structure is different 
than it really is. With other words, database migrations are broken for 
your app. That's why auth works if you start with a fresh database and 
doesn't if you use the existing one.

Since you've been replacing one database with another (to test auth, etc.), 
how did you handle database migrations in web2py? Migrations are described 
here:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Migrations

What I would do:

1) if there was important data in the main database: check the differences 
between the database definitions and your current main database structure, 
sort that out using fake migrations (refer to Fixing broken migrations 
chapter in the book)

2) if there was no need to keep the old data from the main database:
a) drop all tables from the main database
b) delete all files from the applications/yourapp/databases folder 
(assuming there are no sqlite databases in there that you still need)

Regards

Then simply visit http:127.0.0.1/kand/template_examples/variables

[web2py] Re: DAL definition when NOT deployed on localhost ? PythonAnywhere for example...

[LightDot]

AFAIK, the server name should be mysql.server, not 
username.pythonanywhere.com. The rest seems correct, including the 
username$default for the db name, which might seem odd to some.

BTW, localhost is often used for a server name on various hosting 
providers, meaning that you are making a local connection to the mysql 
server that runs on the same host as your app. Remote connections to mysql 
servers are often blocked for extra security. I have never seen "localhost" 
used for a database name, as that would be confusing.

[web2py] Re: Css cache problem

Hi and welcome!

If you look at the source of the page in a browser, do you see the 
static_version inserted as a part of the path to your css? It should be 
something like /static/_1.1.4/css/somecssfile.css.

After a change to 1.1.5, the path should change to 
/static/_1.1.5/css/somecssfile.css.

Do you see this happen?

[web2py] Re: Bootstrap3 package - help to test

[LightDot]

Hm. I expected a flurry of responses by now. I haven't been able to work on 
this since Christmas, but... come on, anyone?? :) I would think a 
possibility of Bootstrap 3 and Zorb Foundation 5 welcome apps would draw 
crowds...

Anyway, layout.html:
- web2py.css needs minor adjustments as there are no .main, .footer, 
.footer-content and .header in layout anymore (btw, .push is also obsolete, 
it disappeared almost 2 years ago, when skeleton.css was replaced by 
bootstrap)
- I did not test this part, but changes in regards to modernizr.custom.js 
and respond.js seem appropriate. I would suggest a free CDN instead of 
maxcdn.com, though. How about 
cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/respond.js/1.4.2/respond.js ? We could 
suggest the same for Modernizr 
(cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.7.1/modernizr.min.js) and 
remove it from static/js

web2py-bootstrap3.css, web2py-bootstrap3.js, bootstrap3.py:
- I see no issues so far, admittedly my tests were in no way extensive

licenses:
- IANAL, so this being my personal and layman opinion, chosen licenses seem 
correct for all intended purposes.

I'll try and do more tests soon.

Re: [web2py] Compile app from command line

[LightDot]

Looking at your python version, you're running a RHEL 5 (or a derivative, 
such as CentOS). Just a word of caution if you decide to attempt updating 
the OS python's version - search the net for previous experiences. It's not 
straightforward, as other important parts of the OS depend on it (ie. yum, 
etc.).

You might want to look into other possibilities, such as using python 2.6 
from EPEL repository. This solution also has virtualenv available.

[web2py] Re: How not to update data on live version.

[LightDot]

This can be very simple or complex, depending on if you made any changes to 
the database structure or its access information.

Assuming you didn't change anything about your database, the solution is to 
simply don't upload your applications//databases folder.

You really should read about database migrations in the web2py book and 
provide more information when asking such questions, ie. the database type, 
etc.

[web2py] Re: wrong version of web2py book on dropbox

[LightDot]

My understanding is that:
- github repo for the book app has the latest content
- the online book app is somewhat regularly updated from the github repo
- the pdf is generated only when the actual book gets published.

So once the 6th edition gets out, the pdf will reflect this, not before.

[web2py] Re: login crash under 2.8.2

[LightDot]

Ok, so you're using one mod_wsgi / web2py instance and map virtualhosts 
into specific apps within. Looks like a neat solution, but it seems to be 
problematic in the same way Leonel is describing for the Windows 
environment. Basically, different virtualhosts under the same 
WSGIDaemonProcess have issues with sessions...

We use a separate web2py and a seperate WSGIDaemonProcess for each 
virtualhost, that's why we didn't experience problems...

As for centos - sure, I think it's a great choice. Any good RHEL 
derivative, for that matter. We've been using Scientific Linux 6 and CentOS 
2, 3 and 5 before that. RHEL derivatives do a great job for us. I'm not 
saying other distros aren't suitable, it's just that these tick all the 
boxes for us.

[web2py] Re: login crash under 2.8.2

[LightDot]

Apache and mod_wsgi under CentOS 6.x (or any other RHEL derivative, like 
Scientific Linux) tick like a clock. We us this combo for web2py almost 
everywhere.

Are you using mod_wsgi as a deamon? Have you set up different process 
groups, users etc. for different virtual hosts? You could post the relevant 
parts of your virtualhost configs if you wish.

You could also programmatically enforce the usage of ssl across the entire

[web2py] Re: Can't edit default.py after upgrade to 2.8.2

[LightDot]

Hm. It should be looking for 
"/admin/static/_2.7.3/codemirror/lib/codemirror.css", 
so _2.7.3 and not -2.7.3.


I don't think this dash is a direct typo in the web2py code. A rewrite rule 
somewhere, regex gone wrong?

BTW, the number there is only indirectly related to the web2py version, it 
isn't the problem in itself. It's this feature in effect:

[web2py] Re: help-block in Bootstrap forms

[LightDot]

Most of the work already done on bootstrap 3, foundation 5, etc. can be 
reused. The DOM manipulating parts are also bound to be useful - as an 
example of what can be done, if nothing else.

I'm using the plugin_layout_ functionality to keep bootstrap 2 & 3, 
bootswatch 2 & 3 and foundation 5 playing along within a single app. I'm 
aiming for slightly different bs2, bs3, foundation5, etc. welcome apps, 
that can be packed as plugin_layout_ and updated as someone needs 
them.

About the other part of the equation - the support for different CSS 
frameworks from within gluon or contrib - there was a discussion about how 
to implement all this a while ago and I think we really ought to finish 
it...

My thoughts as far as functionality goes:
- user would set a global variable (ie. styleserializer=bootstrap3 ..or 
bootstrap2, foundation5 or some other predefined style) and thus define the 
serialization of menus, forms, tables, grid, flash messages, etc. all in 
one place
- existing menu, formstyle, etc. functionality stays, this is needed for 
backward compatibility and is also useful. User could ie. use the global 
variable to set everything to bootstrap3, then override the formstyle 
setting for one specific form to, let's say, bootstrap3-inline.

All that is left for a user is to drop in a correct welcome app and voila, 
foundation 5 or bootstrap 3 based web2py.

The implementation is something I'm not clear about. Should everything be 
kept in gluon, as it is now..? Should old formstyles (table3cols, etc.) 
stay within gluon, while bootstrap, bootstrap3 (it's already done, since 
recently) and future ones get moved to contrib?  Should MENU() be 
deprecated, keeping it as is, or should it be extended to accomodate more 
CSS frameworks? Perhaps a new menu function altogether, in contrib?

What else am I not thinking of..?

[web2py] Re: abaut python 2.x and web2py lifetime

[LightDot]

If the future python support is the main issue, than I'd say you're 
worrying without any need. Support for python 2.x won't simply go away in 
two years, other maintainers will take over if it comes to that. If nothing 
else, Red Hat has taken on a serious commitment to support python 2.x for a 
long long time:

- RHEL 5 ships with python 2.4.3 and will be supported until Q1 2020
- RHEL 6 ships with python 2.6.6 and will be supported until Q4 2023
- RHEL 7 will ship with python 2.7.x and will be supported for 13 years 
after its release (so until 2027, if it ships next year)

I would ask myself:
- does python 3.x bring any advantages that you absolutely must use?
- how much of your future python 2.x code would a) be supported for longer 
than 2027 and b) require a large rewrite to switch to 3.x (can you keep 
your code both 2.x/3.x compatible, or reasonably close)?

A strong "yes" to the first question wold make me *choose* another 
framework. A possibility of the large rewrite would make me *consider*another 
framework.

That being said, we use RHEL for our customers and web2py is our framework 
of choice for our current and future projects. YMMW.

Hope this helps a bit.

Regards

[web2py] Re: Theming with Bootswatch

[LightDot]

Web2py's Welcome app in trunk already comes with Bootstrap 2.3.2 and 3.0.x 
is planned for the future.

In the mean time, Bootswatch has older versions available at 
https://github.com/thomaspark/bootswatch/tags so you can download a 2.2.2 
version.

As you probably know, Bootswatch's css is a drop in replacement for the 
Bootstrap's css. There is no difference when it comes to the Web2py's 
Welcome application.

Re: [web2py] What is inserting '_2.7.3' into my static url's?

[LightDot]

The number doesn't really matter. It's supposed to stay the same until a 
static file's content changes, then it should be changed in order to 
prevent the browser cache to display the wrong file contents.

So it can be 2.7.3 or 19283773.39393.3939393, doesn't matter.

How are you using apache? With mod_wsgi? How exactly? That's what you'll 
need to adjust if the admin doesn't work for you with 
response.static_version enabled.

[web2py] Re: 2.7.4 update leaves admin interface rendering strangely

[LightDot]

The admin app now uses response.static_version so your solution is not the 
most optimal one. If you need a quick fix, I suggest deleting or commenting 
out the line 48 from current applications/admin/models/0.py, rather than 
moving the files:

https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/applications/admin/models/0.py#L48

But a proper fix would be to configure your web server to allow this kind 
of static files versioning. You can read about this feature here:

http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#Static-asset-management

[web2py] Re: Erro ao criar um campo no postgresql via codigo, e excluir manual...

[LightDot]

Could you please post in English?

This is an English list and it's impossible to follow either the questions 
or the answers for all of us that don't speak your language.

Thanks and regards

[web2py] Re: Bootstrap's nav-collapse

[LightDot]

What exactly is the problem? Does the downloaded bootstrap behave 
differently than you expect it to?

The bootstrap-responsive.min.css file is missing simply because the 
customized version includes everything in the basic .css file, it's not an 
error.

Regards

[web2py] Re: Code completion: Do I need to install to install web2py from source?

[LightDot]

The content of both repositories is identical. I see a trend towards Github 
due to the ease of use of pull requests for contributions. For checkouts, 
Googlecode should be just fine. Contributions in the form of diffs/patches 
attached to the googlecode issues are accepted too, but this seems to be 
encouraged less and less.

Regards

[web2py] Re: Nothing displayed in edit window

[LightDot]

Similar problems have been reported several times in the past week or so. 
Perhaps one of the other threads already has a solution for your issue?

If not, please post your web2py version, if you are using Rocket, OS and 
browser version and anything else that is different then what's reported in 
the other threads.

Regards

[web2py] Re: skeleton.css

[LightDot]

You seem to be following very old instructions. The skeleton.css used to be 
a part of the welcome application, but it isn't any more.

I strongly suggest following a newer how-to or an up to date web2py book.

Regards

[web2py] Re: gae boilerplate vs web2py

[LightDot]

Just to note, Bootstrap is included in the welcome app, not web2py itself. 
The welcome app is a great starting point and I guess 99% of the web2py 
users base their applications on it's code. It gives a nice headstart when 
developing web apps. But web2py itself can also be used with any other CSS 
framework or even without one, as you prefer.

Anyway, I think leaning towards web2py is the right choice. Since you're 
familiar with python, you'll feel right at home. I'd suggest studying the 
welcome app briefly and skimming over the web2py book, then making a small 
app for yourself while going over the web2py book in more detail. You'll 
quickly see if web2py is the right tool for you.

Regards
